US OR: Editorial: Pot Law’s Victim

Albany Democrat-Herald, 17 May 2012 – Dwight Holton lost the Democratic primary for attorney general, according to the conventional wisdom, because he pledged to strictly uphold the law on marijuana. If so, he has become a casualty of a bad law. Holton was in charge of federal law enforcement in Oregon when federal agents investigated a large pot-growing operation in Southern Oregon last fall. Indictments have since been returned in that case.
